I wasn't talking about Colorado. Look at the map again, there's a small patch of Cfb in New Mexico.

Boone NC is a continental climate. It’s too cold for subtropical in the winter. The winters are more like Atlantic Canada up there.

I'd say the Arkansas River that goes down to about 1000m elevation on the border could have means over 0ºC in winter, and some of Denver and Pueblo may average over 0ºC as well due to UHI effects.

I think Bisbee, AZ is the closest to subtropical highland in the west, it's winter lows are pretty mild for the elevation.

Wrong, several cities in Colorado mostly located directly against the mountains along the front range from Boulder in the north to Branson in the south average slightly above 0C in the coldest month.

Facts, a REAL subtropical highland climate (a more humid one especially) will be somewhere like Bogota, Colombia or Loja, Ecuador. It gets down to the forties at night and mid-60's to 70s in the day (occasionally in the 80's). Mexico of course and Central America is of course filled with genuine subtropical highland climates.

Bogotá and Loja are tropical highland. Mexico is indeed filled with true subtropical highland climates, and there are some (although sparse) in the southern US. No Cwb climates, but a fair amount of Csb (west coast), Cfb, Czb, and Crb (interior mountains).

Cloudcroft, NM is Cfb according to the -3ºC isotherm, somewhere between there and Alamogordo 1200m below has a true subtropical highland climate.

Are there weather stations in the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California? I'd be betting that areas within there would have a somewhat of a highland subtropical climate (albeit med/semi-arid patterned one).
